Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake
You will need:
3 packages cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
zest from 2 lemons
juice from 2 lemons
3 eggs
1 can blueberry pie filling
1 sleeve graham crackers, crushed
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Preheat oven 350.
In a mixing bowl, cream together cream cheese and 1 cup sugar. In the meantime, crush up graham crackers, and melt butter. Mix melted butter, 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla and crushed graham in bowl. Cover bottom of spring form pan with mixture, making sure to be even mash down mixture. Bake for 10 minutes. Once cream cheese is smooth add, sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice. Add eggs in one at a time. Mix just until eggs are mixed in. (It is okay if there are chunks of cream cheese that aren't mixed in well, don't over beat the mixture. This is what causes cracks.) Pour mixture over cooked graham crust. Drop spoonfuls of blue berry filling over mixture, and swirl with butter knife. Add as much as you want. I do about 6 spoonfuls. Bake 50 minutes. Crack oven door for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool room temperature for up to 2 hours. Chill in fridge over night!
Lemons trees, they are pretty and the lemon flower is sweet...
